Faith


Faith

Jesus knew that we'd have trouble,
With grief churning in our mind.
But, He has given us His faith,
So heavenly thoughts we'll find.

We take captive every thought
To make it obedient unto Him.
We demolish all that rises up
Against God. For, it is sin.

We put on the new self,
Created in true righteousness.
We grasp the depth of His grace for us
As reality in consciousness.

We get rid of all our bitterness,
Anger, and all malice
To be kind, compassionate, and forgiving;
Fit, then, for His palace.

We rely on the love of God.
For, this, alone, drives out fear.
His perfect love is complete in us.
No punishment is near.

We (rejoice in the Lord, always),
With gratitude, lay all beneath His feet.
Choosing to think lovely and pure
Will make our peace complete.
